In Loving Kindness

thank you for the cross.

trusting in the balance
has tilted me towards righteousness
lifting my spirit once again
sinking not in my functioning.

inhale, exhale this over and over again.
looking for tomottow.
forgetting about today.
striving to tell them the truth...
dying, dying, dying, dead.
through prayer and sacrifice
into all the earth
with love and understanding.

now i look to importance,
standing here steadfast
to renew the spirit within me.
do not cast me away from Your presence
or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
